Apart from a poor showing at the pub quiz, it has been a good weekend. Mum really enjoyed the coffee evening on Thursday night. On Friday, we went to Hull Braves Guild and Mum came along. There were plenty of people to talk to and the turn played the sort of music that she enjoyed.
I have been trying to provide meals to tempt Mum's appetite. She has been complaining about not enjoying her food. The only blip was Saturday when we had a Chinese take-away as Lisa and Alan came round and the meal she chose wasn't that good. We all gave her a bit of ours and she enjoyed all the bits.
We had looked at going out for the day on Saturday but the horrendous pictures coming from the Severn basin and the terrible weather forecast changed our minds. Instead we went to the cinema to see Die Hard 4.0. Bruce Willis was on top, if inprobable, form and all three of us enjoyed it very much. As I said above, Lisa and Alan joined us and we had a take-away. We then watched the TOTP2 Disco show with the subtitles on. How sad is that?!

We decided to take the risk on Sunday and went to Burnby Hall Gardens in Pocklington. 
What an inspired choice. We got there to find that there is a Brass Band playing most Sunday afternoons. So we had a walk round and fed the fish and looked at the beautiful plants and water lilies then got a pot of tea and a cake and settled down to listen to the band. It was the East Riding
of Yorkshire Brass Band. Unfortunately, the leader announced the web site but my memory is failing! However, I would recommend a listen if they are in the vicinity. The rain started as the band started so I took my cuppa under cover while Mum and Barbara sat under their umbrellas. However, the rain eased off and finally stopped so I went for a walk around the gardens with the band playing. Magical.

Barbara went to the hairdressers while I was doing that. It didn't take me too long and I was back before lunch so we made a start on the dining room. It is going to get a coat of paint and then we are having the carpet cleaned. In fact, I am sat in the hall typing this as we have moved most things out! We are already to start tomorrow.
